I’m Sam Kirkby, a freelance graphic designer based in the North-East of England.

Throughout my years of industry experience I’ve learned a simple lesson from collaborating with tech giants to one man bands - good communication is the key to successful design as well as successful partnerships. I aim to provide an enjoyable process built upon the values of optimism, honesty and collaboration as well as a drive to simply get the work done.

“It is an understatement to say that we are not easily pleased. And yet, Sam has consistently exceeded the combined expectations of the management team. He has always delivered mission critical branding and marketing collateral on time with a high quality of concept and execution. In a time when customer service and integrity have become afterthoughts, Sam has exhibited the highest levels of professionalism and character. He has been a joy to work with and is a genuine asset to my company.”

“Working with Sam was one of my favourite experiences in starting my business. While I knew a lot about the work I wanted to do, I felt like a fish out of water in trying to convey that vision to the world. Sam stepped in and had brilliantly fun exercises available to refine the ethos, brand, and design of my company. Sam created a fun, warm, and inspiring atmosphere that helped get more out of me than I would've been able to do on my own. I've received many compliments on the branding and design work he did and I know it makes an impact on people who are deciding whether or not to work with me.”

“It’s a pleasure doing business with Sam. Quality, understanding and delivering what the customer wants, and of course a canny lad”

Chief Executive, The Alcohol & Drug Service

“I've worked with Sam on various design projects over the last few years and have found him to be a hugely-skilled designer with tonnes of ideas and a great eye for detail. Nothing is too much trouble and he's always been able to make things happen for us, way ahead of deadline on several occasions and often under tight time scales. He's also got a really friendly approach and is clearly passionate about his job, so it's always a pleasure to work with him. Highly recommended!”
